OSA Interactive Science Publishing (ISP) and MIDAS

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

The interactive science publishing—ISP lunched by Optical Society of America—OSA along with MIDAS, the repository associated with articles published in OSA journals, could be promising platforms approaching reproducible research goals.

Here is an excerpt from the announcement:

With support from the NIH National Library of Medicine, ISP allows authors to publish large 2D and 3D datasets with original source data that can be viewed and analyzed interactively by readers. ISP provides the software for authors to organize and publish source data while offering readers the viewing and analysis tools.

MIDAS, the repository: here are the terms of use:

… You may use the datasets for research purposes, provided that Author(s) are given proper credit as the source of the data, in a manner consistent with generally accepted scientific principles. …

OSA-ISP, the software: only available for Windows and Mac OS, and doesn’t seem to be open source. Moreover, access to full OSA ISP authoring functionality is freely available, following activation, only for 30 days. After 30 days, the software reverts to reader mode. Here is the ISP- FAQs.

You can give them your feedback by taking their survey.


JEL— a linguistic journal of reproducible research

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

The LSA- eLanguage initiative has recently launched a new journal: The Journal of Experimental Linguistics.

Here is an excerpt from the announcement:

The Journal of Experimental Linguistics is part of the Linguistic Society of America’s eLanguage initiative. Like the rest of eLanguage, JEL is an Open Access online journal.

JEL is a linguistic “journal of reproducible research”, that is, a journal of reproducible computational experiments on topics related to speech and language. These experiments may involve the analysis of previously­ published corpus data, or of experiment­-specific data that is published for the occasion. Other relevant categories include computational simulations, implementations of diagnostic techniques or task scoring methods, methodological tutorials, and reviews of relevant new publications (including new data and software).

Mark Liberman is the editor in chief.
